An island has an area of 728 square miles. about 83,000 people live on the island. which expression can be used to calculate the constant of proportionality that represents the number of people per square mile?

Area of island = 728 square miles

Number of people living on the island = 83,000

Let us say "x" represents the number of people living on the island per square mile.

We are given number of people living in 728 square mile of island =83,000

So we will apply unitary method here to find people living per square mile of island.

x= number of people living in 728 square mile divided by area of island.

x=83000/728 =114

So number of people living per square mile of island is x=114

step-by-step explanation:

solution:

we have to construct

∠m nt ≅ ∠p qr

the steps to draw this construction are

step 1: use a compass to draw an arc from point q which intersects the side pq at point a and the side qr at point b.

step 2: draw a segment nt and use the same width of the compass to draw an arc from point n which intersects the segment nt at a point x.

step 3:

step 4: join points n and y using a straightedge.

step 3:

option (d).maintaining the same width of the compass as ab, draw an arc from point x such that it intersects the arc drawn from n in a point y.

to draw   congruent angles , 1. width of compasses while drawing two angles should be same i.e from point at which angle has to be drawn, 2.the distance between the two points where the compass intersects the two sides should be same while drawing any two congruent angles.
